We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Amrita,

I would like to refer to the Mie scattering example , Mie scattering (FDTD) – Ansys Optics , the boundary conditions are PML on all sides. Can we use PML if more spherical structures extend uniformly in all directions, that is more particles within the scattering/absorption analysis regions ?  As you mentioned if its non periodic structure , we can use PML – does this hold true here? 

If PML BC are used on x,y,z directions and if the ‘extend through PML’ is checked – can we assume the strucure(s) are extending through the PML boundaries? 
Appreciate the advice.
